Barclays TRADING HUB

Barclays Stockbrokers can help you take the next step in your trading.

If you’re new to advanced trading, we can provide you with information and support to help get you started. If you already know what you’re looking for, then you can choose the online account that best suits your needs.

The initial dealing rate you pay in each month is determined by the number of deals you place in the previous calendar month. Each time you hit a new tier, you will be switched to the lower commission rates. In order to remain at the new tier you must maintain the required number of deals per month. The number of telephone and online deals you place are consolidated when calculating your deal count, but each method has its own commission rates.

Interest rates

The interest rate is banded, which means the rates in the table below apply only to the portion of the balance within each band shown, not to your cash balance as a whole. Each band of your overall cash balance will receive different rates of interest as shown below, to give an overall blended rate.

​Barclays Base Rate

Please note that our interest rates will move in line with changes in the Barclays base rate. However, where the applicable margin would result in negative figure, the interest paid will be zero. The current Barclays Bank Base Rate is 0.5% and therefore at present, we only pay interest on balances of £250,000 and over, and then only on the amount of the balance which exceeds £250,000.

New interest rates

In line with the Bank of England’s decision to reduce interest rates, we will be reducing our interest rates on cash balances from 1 December 2016. Also, rates you receive will no longer be linked to Barclays Base Rate.
